What does icing, candy, and gingerbread all have in common? FUNTIMES for the Felix's and the Christmas spirit. On Thursday night, AK created her first gingerbread house and was a masterpiece of color and unique(ness). I say "unique" because I'm not sure how many gingerbread houses have candy corn and whoppers on them?!?! We cleaned out our Halloween candy during this project. Adlee enjoyed every step of the project. She had her candies all in piles and not a one out of place. As she placed the candies upon the house, she did not like the idea of mixing and matching her candies. So, the m&m's, whoppers, skittles, gumballs, etc all had their placed upon the house. Towards the end, she would let me place a candy or two on to cover some areas. After it was complete...she was so proud of herself and kept saying, "OH, Momma!" Dent and I enjoyed every moment of it and I hope to make this a Christmas tradition in our family.
Of course...you MUST lick the icing:-)

Placing the candies on in their "SPECIAL" spots!

I love this photo...Look what I did?!?! It was PRICELESS!

The finished product...notice the whoppers and candy corn:-)
What a sweet little Christmas memory and it makes a great center-piece for the kitchen table!

We do have one small problem...Adlee does not understand that the candies cannot be removed and EATEN. After school today, she wanted candies off the house to eat, so I quickly directed her into the pantry for some fruit snacks and goldfish to keep her mind off the "CANDIES". :-)
Let the Christmas holiday begin and let us remember the TRUE meaning of this special season.
Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!!
